Are you finding it hard to move forward in life because of a significant loss or trauma you’ve experienced?

We can all agree there is no “right” way to recover from trauma, or an appropriate timeline for grief. But when you’re the one who’s suffering, it’s terrifying to feel frozen in time when life just keeps moving on for everyone else.

But there’s no such thing as “stuck.” You are moving forward, even if it’s in the wrong direction. And your physical health can quickly deteriorate when you’re suffering from mental and emotional distress. Which can lead to a frustrating lack of support as most doctors don’t address the mind-body connection.

My guest is a brain health coach and certified hypnotist. Kristin Rivas uses Rapid Resolution Trauma Therapy (RRT) to help people overcome their PTSD symptoms. In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Kristin’s story of overcoming a debilitating seizure disorder that she developed after losing her sister in a drunk driving accident

• The impact that a single RRT session had on Kristin’s neurological symptoms

• How rapid resolution therapy (RRT) works

• The science and efficacy of rapid resolution therapy (RRT)

Stay tuned until the end to hear Kristin do a mini RRT session where we uncover the REAL reason why I’m struggling to be consistent with my daily exercise routine. It’s an eye-opener!

Have you considered using naltrexone or other medications to curb your alcohol cravings?

As alcohol use disorder is technically a thinking problem, most of us are too afraid to discuss our symptoms with a doctor. We worry about being forced into a treatment program or denied medications due to our drinking.

And the more we try and fail to change on our own, the more shame and fear we feel…which increases your stress and perpetuates the cycle of overdrinking.

It feels like there is a ticking time bomb threatening to ruin our health, marriage and family dynamics. The guilt is overwhelming. Yet we have no idea what to do.

You already know there is no magic pill. However, there are medications that can help. But how are you supposed to get it if you don’t have a doctor you can trust?

Dr. Joshua Lee, MD specializes in medication-assisted treatment of alcohol use disorder. He is passionate about making evidence-based treatments accessible to those seeking to drink less or achieve sobriety. He is the Chief Clinical Advisor at Oar Health, a telemedicine platform that provides convenient and private access to naltrexone for anyone suffering with alcohol use disorder. In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How naltrexone effects the brain to reduce alcohol cravings

• The difference between the Sinclair Method and other naltrexone therapies

• Success rates for naltrexone…and what to expect if you decide to try it

• How to access naltrexone without if you don’t want to see your family doctor or file for insurance

Are you worried about your ability to access high quality healthcare at a reasonable cost?

Most of us are distracted by the politics of healthcare. But while we’re arguing about the rising costs and who has access to what services, most of us have failed to notice that the healthcare system in which we grew up no longer exists.

It’s almost impossible to be seen when we’re actually sick. Our doctors have no time to discuss complicated concerns. And then we’re blindsided by monthly premiums and out of pocket expenses.

We know the system is broken. But what’s the alternative?

My guest today is Dr. Maryal Concepcion, a family medicine doctor who joined the mass exodus of burned out physicians refusing to provide substandard care in the insurance-based system. We’re doing a deep dive into the direct primary care (DPC) model that is revolutionizing the connection between doctors and their patients and providing high quality, comprehensive care at a fraction of the cost. In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The difference between DPC and insurance-based business models

• How the DPC model benefits families with small children and people with severe chronic illnesses

• If you still need insurance when you have a DPC physician

• How to find a DPC physician in your area
